FIG. 3 shows the moving object 29a, 29
It is a block diagram showing an example of an information processor provided in b, 29c, ....

The equipment shown in this figure is typically equipped by fire fighters during fire fighting operations. In other words, firefighters
Wearable personal computer 5 so as not to hinder fire fighting
Equipped with 9. The wearable personal computer 59 has a built-in clock 73 and a moving object ID as described above, and is equipped with a sufficiently charged battery 61. The wearable personal computer 59 includes a GPS device 63 having a GPS antenna 65 and a CC
A capture card 69 to which a D camera 67 can be connected and (C
A digital still camera may be connected instead of the CD camera 67), and a touch-panel display 71 capable of pen input is also mounted.

The wearable personal computer 59 has a GPS
The current position (latitude / longitude / altitude data) detected by the device 63 or a moving image captured by the CCD camera 67 (or a still image captured by a digital still camera) can be captured. Data is transmitted over wireless L
The data is transmitted to the wireless communication device installed at the site headquarters or the like through the AN 13 (the position data and the video data are recorded in the activity record DB 43 from the wireless communication device through the communication network 31).

The wearable personal computer 59 is
The display 71 has a main item registration interface. As described above, the main item registration interface has a main item registration button for each main item, and by simply pressing the button, the main item and its position and time can be easily registered. Things.

For example, “Headquarters”, “Fire point”, and “Injured person found” are prepared as registration buttons for main items in fire fighting activities. In firefighting activities, there are two cases: the member himself is at the position where the main item occurs and registers the main item at that position, or the member receives the report of the main item from another person and registers it. Therefore, wearable personal computer 59 displays a "main item occurrence position" button for registering a main item occurrence position and a "main item report reception" button for receiving a report and registering the main item. . For example, the member presses the "main item occurrence position" button when he / she finds the injured person, and presses the "receive main item report" button when he / she receives the report of the injured person detection.

When the "main item occurrence position" button is pressed, the wearable personal computer 59 displays only the registration buttons for the main items "headquarters", "fire point", and "injured person found" on the display 71. I do. The member presses the "find injured" button because he found the injured. When the button is pressed, the wearable personal computer 59 obtains the time indicated by the built-in clock 73 and the current position (latitude / longitude / altitude) detected by the GPS device 63, and obtains the item "injured person found". The data of the name, the acquired time, the acquired current position, and the built-in moving object ID are transmitted through the wireless LAN 13.

On the other hand, when the "receive main item report" button is pressed, the wearable personal computer 59 causes the main items of "headquarters", "fire point", and "find injured person" as shown in FIG. Is displayed on the display 71 together with the map button 75 around the site (the site surrounding map is transmitted from the report generation unit 27 described later). Since the member found the injured person, he / she pressed the “injured person found” button, and entered the reported injured person detection position by touching the map image 75 with the pen 79. The wearable personal computer 59 displays an “injured person found” icon 81 at the touched location,
The latitude, longitude, and altitude of the touched map position are calculated (altitude is the altitude of the point), the item name "Discovered Injured", the time of touch, the position of the touched map (latitude and longitude) (Altitude) and the data of the built-in moving object ID are transmitted through the wireless LAN 13.

The data sent from the wearable personal computer 59 is transmitted to the activity record DB through the communication network 31.
43. The activity record DB 43 is provided with at least three storage areas: an item list storage area, an audio / image data storage area, and a position data storage area.

As shown in FIG. 5, items (data) registered and transmitted via the main item registration interface are stored in a list format in the item list storage area. In each item (data), “time”, “position”, “item name”, “recorder”, “related data”, and “geographic information” are recorded. "Time", "position", "item name",
The “recorder (mobile object ID)” is information included in the transmitted data as described above. The “related data” and “geographic information” are data written by the above-described related information extracting mechanism 49. As described below, “related data” is an image related to “time” or “position” in this item. Data and voice data are recorded as "geographic information" such as building information (for example, an address) and resident information (for example, the number of households or the name of the household head).

The audio / image data storage area stores moving image or still image data captured by an image acquisition device such as a video camera or a digital camera, and audio data acquired by an audio acquisition device such as a transceiver or a mobile phone. , For example, as shown in FIG.
According to this list, for each data, "record start"
And the time of “recording end”, “recorder”, and “data I”
D ”is recorded. The times of “recording start” and “recording end” and “recorder (moving object ID)” are included in the transmitted data. "Data ID"
Is for identifying transmitted voice or image data, for example, voice A, according to the stored order
.. Are recorded as image A, sound B, sound C, image B,.

As described above, each audio data and each image data can be cut out at a designated time portion (data width). For example, in FIG. 6, audio data A is recorded between 9:43 and 10:43, but if only data recorded between 10:00 and 10:20 is required, Only the part corresponding to that time can be cut out.

The position data storage area stores latitude, longitude, and altitude data obtained and transmitted by a position obtaining device such as a GPS. The transmitted data includes a time and a moving object ID based on a clock and a moving object ID built in the position acquisition device.
And the position (latitude / longitude / altitude) of each mobile object ID is stored in time series in this position data storage area.

For the activity record DB 43 provided with such three storage areas, the report generation unit 25 constantly monitors the activity record DB 43, and as soon as the position data or the main item is stored in the activity record DB 43, The item selection mechanism 47 is activated.

FIG. 7 shows an operation flow of the main item selection mechanism 47.

When activated, the main item selection mechanism 47 first accesses the extraction rule DB 57 and extracts an extraction rule (step S1). The extraction rule is composed of a condition part and a conclusion part, and examples thereof include the following.

Rule (A): Condition part: The moving object ID is fire engine A, the movement start time is t, and the position (x
If (4, y4, z4) coincides with the location of the fire department in charge, the conclusion: “Item name” corresponds to fire truck dispatch.

Rule (B): Condition section: If the moving object ID is ambulance A, the movement is not recorded for 30 minutes or more, and the distance between the position of the injured person and ambulance A is less than 500 m, the conclusion section. : “Item name” corresponds to ambulance arrival.

After extracting the rule (A), for example, the main item selecting mechanism 47 accesses the position data storage area 83 of the activity record DB 43, and obtains each position data and the rule (A).
Search for matching position data by comparing with the condition part of. In other words, "time" in the condition part of rule (A)
Search for position data that satisfies all of “position” and “recorder” (S2). If there is a matching position data, the main item selecting mechanism 47 sets the “item name (fire engine dispatched)” in the conclusion part of the rule (A) and the “position”, “time”, and “recorder” of the searched position data. (S3). And
As shown in FIG. 8, the combined data P is additionally registered in the item list of the item list storage area 81 so as to be arranged in chronological order (S4). After that, the main item selection mechanism 4
7, if there is an extraction rule that has not been processed yet (Y in S5)
es) The operation of step S1 is performed again, and if all the extraction rules have been processed (No in S5), the operation flow ends.

When the item list is additionally registered in the activity record DB 43 in this way, the related information extracting mechanism 49 starts. The related information extracting mechanism 49 performs the following processing operation.

FIG. 9 shows an operation flow of the related information extracting mechanism 49.

The related information extraction mechanism 49 stores the activity record DB 4
A specific item A (for example, an item that has just been added and registered in the main item selection mechanism 47 immediately before) is extracted from the item list storage area 81 of step 3 (step S6), and the “time” of the item A is set to
"Position" is set to W (S7). Next, the position data storage area 83 is searched, all the moving objects existing near the position W at the time T are extracted and enumerated, and a list L of the moving objects is created (S8). Next, the image / audio data storage area 85 in which the data shown in FIG. 6 is stored is searched, and the “recorder (mobile object)” extracts the image data and the audio data included in the list L ( S9). Next, of the extracted data, only a portion close to the time T (for example, a data width recorded for 30 minutes including the time T) is cut out and extracted as an item A.
The related data / geographic information storage area 87 is provided in another storage area of the activity record DB 43, and the extracted data is stored in the storage area 87 (see FIG. 5). (S10). And the static information DB
53, and obtains geographical information (address, building information, resident information, etc.) related to the position W, registers it in the column of "Geographical information" of item A (see FIG. 5), and obtains it. The obtained data is stored in the related data / geographic information storage area 87 (S11). If there is any item in the item list storage area 81 that has not been processed (that is, the related data and geographic information have not been registered), the related information extraction mechanism 49 (S12).
Yes in step S6), the operation in step S6 is performed again, and if all items have been processed (No in S12), the operation flow ends.

In FIG. 9, the related information extraction mechanism 4
9 is an image (moving image) shot continuously for a specific length of time
Although data is cut out at a portion near time T and registered in the item list, it is of course possible to extract and register an image at time T, that is, register as still image data.

Further, as shown in step S8 of FIG. 9, the creation of the list L of moving objects is performed based on the position data. Therefore, not only the time data and the moving object ID but also the position data may be added to all the information collected by the information processing devices 33 to 39 shown in FIG. Then, more information can be associated with each item.

As described above, when the relevant data and the like are registered in the item list of the activity record DB 43, the report generation mechanism 51 starts. The report generation mechanism 51 creates a “main item time series list” and a “main item map” as a report of the site activity.

FIG. 10 shows an example of the “main item time series list”.

The “main item time-series list” 91 is an item list stored in the activity record DB 43 in which the HTM
It is in L (HyperText Markup Language) format. In the column of “related data” of the list 91, video camera icons 93a and 93b indicating image data are registered, and megaphone icons 95a and 95b indicating audio data are registered if audio data is registered. Is provided. Similarly, if the geographic information is registered, icons 97a and 97b indicating the registered geographic information are also provided in the column of "geographic information" in the list 91.
